Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 64 Yin Changqin (2)

Qi He'er was running in a hurry in the alley when a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He was dressed in white and stretched between the gray and white earth walls on both sides. When he took a closer look, it was Yin Changqin who stood in front of him!

"You—you—" Qi He'er stretched out his finger to Yin Changqin, and then turned his finger to the back, as if he didn't know which Yin Changqin was here, or the Yin Changqin who was clearly sitting in the courtyard just now, which was real and which was fake.

Yin Changqin, who came over from Dunshu, smiled and said: "Yin Changqin, under the Tianqin sect, may I ask the girl's name?"

Qi Heer blinked her big beautiful eyes vigorously, seemed to finally believe it, and said, "My name is Qi Heer."

Although he ran away in a hurry from the gate of the mansion before, but now facing Yin Changqin directly, Qi He'er did not show any signs of dodging, and his tone was firm, showing a candid energy.

Yin Changqin then asked again: "It turned out to be the daughter of the Qi Mansion. I'm disrespectful. I live in seclusion in a deep alley, and I haven't mentioned my residence to outsiders. I don't know how the girl found me?"

"I found it by listening to the sound of the piano."

"The girl has good ears. Could it be that she likes the piano music below?"

"En." Qi He'er nodded generously.

"Does the girl also want to learn to play the piano?"

Qi He'er was startled when he heard the words, but this time he shook his head hastily.

Yin Changqin observed the words and expressions, and knew that the girl hadn't lied to him, so she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

In fact, he often plays the piano, which is also practice.While playing the piano, he used the sound of the music to open the barrier to exercise his spiritual power.

The name of the enchantment is "Lost Forest".

In this enchantment, it is extremely easy for ordinary people to get lost. Even a wall will turn around and turn, and it is impossible to find the luthier.The real function of this enchantment is to hide and protect the luthier in battle.

And Yin Changqin chose this enchantment to practice spiritual power in order to prevent too many people from hearing the sound of the piano and finding himself here to watch the fun.

But there is another feature of this enchantment, that is, people who are extremely talented in the spiritual power of Tianqin can easily find the location of the luthier based on the sound of the piano.Therefore, it has also become the assessment ceremony for Tianqin Sect to accept disciples.

When Yin Changqin was seven years old, it was precisely because he heard the sound of the piano in the wild, crossed the barrier unknowingly, and met the old man Tianqin, so he was accepted into the family.

Now, this girl named Qi He'er has also cracked the "Lost Forest" many times, which made Yin Changqin want to recruit disciples.

But together with Tianqin, talent alone is not enough, but also a persistent love for the art of piano, both are indispensable.

In addition to being disappointed, Yin Changqin was also a little happy.

If you don't want to learn the piano, but still come here all the time, then you like yourself.

"Can I still listen to you playing the piano in the future?" Qi He'er asked a little nervously.

Yin Changqin smiled when he heard the words, reached out and touched Qi He'er's head, thinking in his heart:
Why didn't she ask herself if she could step into the house?

But if she really asked, how should I answer?
The master said that the hardest thing to find in the world is such a lovely girl. If you say that he doesn't like her at all, you are deceiving yourself and others.

But for a 20-year-old man, besides building a career and defending his family, what else is worth distracting and stopping?
What I want now is fame, not affection.

Should she come?Let a girl's feelings get deeper and deeper, and I have nothing to say, it will only make the girl lovesick and sad, and her youth will be wasted in vain.

Shouldn't she be here?But I like her here.For a luthier, there are few things that are more satisfying than playing the piano to a bosom friend.

What should he do.

Yin Changqin looked down at the girl with a smile, but didn't say a word in the end, just put his palm down from the girl's hair and left alone.

Let the girls choose for themselves.

In the dark, there are certain numbers.

In October of the 14th year of Zhenping, Tianshui City, Quanzi Lane

It got dark very early today, and in the sky, there was only one star shining alone in the north.

When Qi He'er ran to the door of Yin Tianqin's mansion, there was a coir raincoat quietly placed at the door.

Qi He'er was puzzled at first, but after a while, the patter of rain began to fall.

Accompanied by the sound of Yin Changqin, it sounded softly.

Suddenly, Qi He'er put on his coir raincoat and stood outside the door, quietly watching Yin Changqin play.

In the past six months, many things have happened.For example, she is already Qi Skou's daughter.This was of course Yin Changqin's recommendation.For this reason, Qi Siko never cared about his daughter's going out, and even encouraged him, and often asked his daughter about the "situation" with a smile.

But nothing happened.

Yin Changqin would play the piano every three or two days, and Qi He'er would always come to listen to it. They faced each other silently across the door as before.

Yin Changqin played a new song today.

The tune is like rain all over the city.

The night wind was gentle, and the sound of the piano was melodious, shaking the corners of the girl's clothes, and spreading ripples on the pools of spring water.The lights shone on the newly accumulated pond under the "Yin Mansion" plaque, and the yellow shadows swayed, warming the girl's side face.

His knuckles danced like a ghost in the night, that man played for her in the court, only for her.

This rain is not heavy, and it won't be long. When the wind and rain fade away, the qin music will also end.

This time, the girl did not leave.

Then, in the gradually thinning raindrops, Qi He'er stepped on the autumn water all over the ground, and stepped across the gate of the Yin Mansion for the first time.

"Are you leaving?" the girl asked.

Yin Changqin nodded, without much explanation, the girl could always understand his piano sound.

In half a year, their fate was exhausted quietly.

"What can I do for you?" the girl asked again.

Yin Changqin shook his head with a smile, and when he opened his mouth to answer, he noticed the flickering light in the girl's eyes, changed his mind, and said:
"There is also one thing. I remember when I first heard your name, I felt a little special. Some wondered if your name had any special origin. It is unavoidable to ask such a thing. Now, can you tell me? ?”

"My mother said that when she was pregnant with me, she dreamed that two white cranes flew in and sent a young crane into her arms, and then I was born. My mother said that I was the child of the crane, so I named it 'He'er' .”

"So that's what it means. 'Child of the Crane' is really interesting." Yin Changqin smiled, and then said: "Now that you know the origin, you should never forget this name."

Qi He'er froze for a while, and said in a low voice: "Will I hear your qin music again?"

Yin Changqin didn't respond, but took out two yellowed books from his sleeve, obviously prepared early, and showed them to Qi He'er, saying: "This is my Tianqinmen's self-cultivation formula "Tianyin Xiqi Jue", although there is no Complementary exercises are also enough to cultivate and strengthen the body, in the future, if you have spare energy, just practice it."

Qi He'er raised his head, tears brimming with tears, but bit his lip again, and took the book.

"Yes."

When they parted, the girl covered her eyes with her hands, ran two steps, stopped again, turned around and saluted Yin Changqin.

Thank you for donating the virtue of music for half a year.

Finally, the figure disappeared into the night.

"My lord, it's raining again, let's go back to the house." Li Fugui who was holding an umbrella beside him hurriedly said.

Yin Changqin didn't move immediately, but raised his head and looked at the night sky.

The gloomy night is by no means beautiful, only a single star shines in the north.

Yin Changqin knew that the star's name was "Sirius".

Master aggression.

This morning, King Yi Yin Tianqi summoned him into the palace and told him that the northern barbarians were forcing the country. General Xu Fei led [-] troops to help him. He will set off tomorrow and ordered him to join the army.

His chance to show off his ambition has finally arrived.

You should be happy.

Yin Changqin pushed Li Fugui away, walked into the rain, and looked up at the stars.

Li Fugui was surprised, but also wisely didn't come forward, he could only wait by the side, watching the raindrops hit his son's face for a long time, as if he was crying.

In October of the 14th year of Zhenping, the barbarians invaded the northern border of Yi State.In November, General Fu Zhou led [-] troops, General Xu Fei, and Yin Changqin led [-] troops. Together they attacked the barbarians in the field of Yunling and won a great victory.

In July of the 15th year of Zhenping, the Yaozu appeared in Yunling, and Yin Changqin eliminated them.In November, the barbarian Poison Fire Department invaded the frontier. Yin Changqin led [-] troops, and the enemy was trapped seventy miles west of Moyun City.

In December of the 16th year of Zhenping, the barbarians broke Fuzhou on the banks of the Wanmu River, and Yin Changqin took the place of the former general, breaking the barbarian army, with three thousand leaders.When Yin Changqin was in charge of the army, the military discipline was strict and he had no crimes against the people. He was called "Gongzi Army" in the country.

In December of the 18th year of Zhenping, Yin Changqin guarded Yunling City, and the barbarians attacked it. After [-] days of siege, the city was destroyed.The people are slaughtered.The third son Yin Changqin was captured.The barbarians wanted to use Changqin as a pledge to extort money and food, so they bound Changqin to Tianshui.

After traveling for more than ten miles, Changqin feigned death, secretly peeping at the barbarian soldiers riding good horses beside him.It is the magic weapon of self-explosion, to get rid of the barbarians, seize the good horses, whip the horses for dozens of miles south, and return to Tianshui.

There were hundreds of barbarian pursuers. Yin Changqin used the broken strings of the qin as bow strings and ice as arrows. He made his own bow and arrows and shot and killed more than [-] pursuers.Finally have to take off.

In January of the 19th year of Zhenping, Yin Changqin returned to Tianshui, King Yi questioned the crime, and handed over the third son to the legal officials.The law official said that Yin Changqin had lost a lot of soldiers, and was captured by the barbarians. He was to be beheaded, counting his previous achievements, exiled for three hundred miles, and placed in Shiling.

At that time, there was a folk song in the city singing:
"Hold up the long arrow and shoot the sky wolf, and use the curved arrow to fall down." (Note [-])
